Is It a Safe Assumption to Make?
The question of whether the Royal Family made the same mistakes with Meghan as they did with Diana in terms of mental health support is often discussed. However, it's important to delve deeper into the facts and context surrounding both individuals.
Perception vs. Reality
Meghan and Harry have always been autonomous adults. It is firmly stated that the Royal Family or any organization would not force Meghan or Harry to do anything. The comparison often seems to revolve around the mental health treatment both women received.
Regarding Diana, there is evidence that she did receive mental health care. It’s known that she was assessed as possibly having borderline personality disorder, which would explain symptoms like depression and paranoia. She had access to a network of self-help resources that were available during her time. The reality is that mental health treatments have evolved significantly, and the options available today are vastly different.
Meghan’s Diagnosis and Behavior
Meghan has been identified as a mid-range narcissist by experts. This term indicates that she is not particularly clever or skilled, meaning she may not fully understand her shortcomings. Her actions are seen as detrimental to those around her. She has a tendency to undermine individuals she sees as beneath her, especially in matters of fashion. Both Diana and Catherine possess inherent fashion senses that make them look effortlessly stylish. However, Meghan’s lack of a similar skill does not necessarily translate to a need for mental health treatment, but rather to the need for support in understanding and addressing her behaviors.
The Royal Family’s Role
As adults, Meghan and Harry are expected to take responsibility for their own well-being. Just like individuals dealing with mental health issues, they should seek appropriate care and support when needed. The idea that the Royal Family should be the primary source of mental health care is not accurate. Mental health services are available from a range of professionals and institutions. The assertion that Meghan is beyond mental health care and her actions should not be excused is a valid perspective but needs to be addressed with facts and evidence.
The Royal Family’s role is to support their members and ensure they have access to the necessary resources. While it is beyond their responsibility to force someone to seek help, they can ensure that support systems are in place. The suggestion that eventually, Meghan will face consequences is an emotional assertion rather than a proven fact. The legal and social implications of her actions will be determined by the courts and public opinion, not by her mental health status.
Conclusion
While it’s easy to make assumptions, it’s important to base these on factual evidence. Diana, like many individuals, received support in her time. Meghan, on the other hand, is a complex figure whose behavior often overshadows any underlying mental health issues. The Royal Family’s focus should remain on providing support, rather than making broad and sometimes unfounded claims.
